August 5, 1940 Route 1 Aubrndale, Florida Mr. Wesley Peters TALIESON Spring Green, Wisconsin My dear Wesley: We got through pouring the concrete on the 2nd of August. Today we are beginning to take off the outside molds of the forms. Regarding the steam pipes, we have not heard from the Tampa people. Before we lay these pipes please inform me how you intend to pour flooring on speakers room side. Blue print indicates flooring two units higher than main floor, therefore we will pour some light beams to support slab. If you have any particular way please let us know. I am ordering sky light rafters because fifteen are not enough to complete job. Everything went smoothly; we poured day and night. Please send drawing for the two little seminars. With best wishes to you personally, I am Very sincerely yours, ROBERT. D. WEHR RDW:ew
